Mokoena was only 12 years old at the time of the massacre in 1992. His family had to think quickly to save him.

"My mother dressed me in my sister's clothes and we hid at the Boipatong community hall. It was very sad and I only realised just how bad the following day," Mokoena said on Friday, on the 19th anniversary of the massacre.

Forty-five people were killed when Kwa-Madala hostel residents went on a rampage.

"I am glad that my family survived and I didn't lose any friends. The reason my mother dressed me in my sister's clothes was that young boys were being targeted.

"The following day we saw people coming back from work crying. That was when we realised just how serious the situation was. So it is important for young people, especially, not to forget this day," he said.

People with bad attitudes have significantly higher rates of stress and disease. Someone’s mental state plays a huge role in their physical health. If someone’s making life miserable for people around them, you can be sure they’re doing worse for themselves...Too much negativity amongst us [SouthAfricans] is it ignorance or what? why kanti?..Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.”……… Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one...Mbazo have done more good than bad as some of you would like to argue

I fail to understand where Mbazo's football career fit in here. Why call him "inkomo" when he is telling SA about his massacre survival? Grow up people. if you have nothing to offer us on this platform, then shut up. Mbazo might not be my hero but i'm a south African and i celebrate South African citizens achievements.

First off all Mbazo was not utilized on his strengths.
Did you know that Mbazo is a defensive middle fielder?
Guess not! He was played out of position hence he would make so many mistakes in the match. Imagine playing a defensive-middle-field role for two months or even three, the next thing you are called for national duty and then you have to re-adjust to the position which you last played two months ago? Does it make sense, dont think so. Blame it on the technical team and of course the coach.

And secondly Mbazo has a football academy, not every one gets that opportunity to have one. Something for you to think about.
